In Microsoft PowerPoint and OpenOffice Impress, the normal view is the standard view used for creating and viewing presentation slides. This view is also known as Slide View and offers a full size view of a slide, making it easier to create and edit slides. The picture is an example of normal view selected in the Microsoft PowerPoint Ribbon.
In other applications, normal view may be the default view size for the screen. It often provides the most user-friendly setup for viewing and editing documentation, images or video in the application. Usually, the normal view can be accessed in the application’s menu bar, under the View option.
